I deposited $2000 via Moneybookers and after that freelancer has suspended my account. My new account not starting any project!
I have sent them my passport, they ask for a color copy, The next day I sent my certified copy of passport,
They ask for 'unedited' copy. We are a legal company, If they really want to do a verification why didn't they contact Moneybookers, Our company have gain a merchant status at moneybookers which require many paperwork. Their support is an auto-responder copy and paste cat, They will keep ask you the same documents until you gave up your money and they laugh at you in a shady office.

Finally an insider working in the company told us that they get paid for each suspended account. They pick account with high balance so nobody get notice about that they SCAM 100 victim and get a new signup, Will you be the next target?

Quit your job and send a resume to get a job there!

I am located in Eastern Europe. I've been using rentacoder for 4+ years as an employer. I am pretty happy with the service as well as how they handled a couple of complicated cases.
The more I work with them the more I realize that I really feel protceted by the rules they have established.2010-02-18 14:17:14 -
GetaFreelancer or freelancer is a definetely a scam or fraud website. They are making proper job for small bidders (fishes) but scamming the bigger players.

They frozen my 1000 USD and suspended account. No answer at all. Live support is automatically terminating when connected.

Be away from these guys. Personally I will apply to all related FBI and internet crime related websites and I suggest you to do also the same. Warn all related people directly/indirectly as much as possible.

The fraud committed at some of the freelancer sites are mostly internal. The sites are developed to enable fraud. One site I used appear to collaborate with certain companies in what appears to be a syndicate, helping to entrap project, especially those with a high value for a fraud hit.

I posted a project, deposited over $1000 to enable payment first half payment, within a few weeks the designer became quite funny, on holiday, sick, or he had a problem etc.
The alarms went off. I raised concerns with the help desk. I observed that either the designer was telepathic or he had access to the helpdesk, He was almost simultaneous sending me an email addressing concerns raised with the helpdesk.

I canceled the project and initiated a money withdrawal which appeared fine, a few days later I found they had intercepted and stopped the withdrawal. I raised an instant issue resolution with Paypay. I attached a screen dump of account showing - 1) the initial deposited amount, 2) Eschew payment to designer and subsequent cancellation 3) auto-email to me indicating payment withdrawal OK and transaction details. Efficient, Paypay effected a transfer of my money to my account. Leaving the get a fraudsters site furious. They wanted make to raise an official complain so they could officiate a resolution and decide in favor of the designer – themselves.

If you make a deposit take a screen dump of the account status, Always.2009-08-24 13:38:47 -
Scriptlance.com is the best of best.I am designer and get projects from this site i earned 21,000$ in 1 year.Long live scriptlance fully secure and great escrow system2009-08-19 05:53:12 -
Ok, I'm tricked definitely. After waiting the payment for more than 15 days I had to cancel the project to get the fee back. GAF said that they can't help me because I didn't use escrow. Beware of the provider under user name 'thegnllc'.2009-08-12 09:33:35 -
I was working for Forum in GAF and money was transfered by buyer to GAF account but GAF suspended my account for no reason and did not transfer 58 dollars to my PayPal account.2009-08-12 09:26:21 -
I was working in getafreelancer.com in Forums and money was transfered by the buyer to GAF account but at first they transfered part of my money to PayPal account ,but then they suspended my account for no reason ,I did not get the last 58 $ .How can I get my money? You must stop them doing things like this to people otherwise they will be millioniares soon.2009-08-10 05:14:15 -
Hi, I wouldn't say that getafreelancer.com is a complete fraud. I did ten projects during the last year (one is ongoing), for very nice buyers and nothing was wrong until the last one.
Buyer had very good ratings, so I haven't asked for escrow. And now I'm waiting for $100 payment for more than 10 days after I completed the project - he don't answer my emails anymore. If he don't pay me soon, I will get back here with his user name.
The bad thing is that there is no way to say this on GAF, because I can't even rate the buyer if the project is not paid. And I'm also getting suspicious about fake reviews.
But once again, it's not a complete fraud.2009-07-13 13:22:34 -
